Can’t find my Christmas dress anywhere :(

Can anyone help?

I want a glitter or sequin Christmas party dress.

I have lovely small shoulders, so a halter or strappy neckline would suit me well- but I imagine winter probably calls for sleeves?

I like autumnal colours- champagne, brown, gold, rust. I wouldn’t mind a black or dark blue one though.

I honestly can’t find anything except t shirt style shift dresses (cling on my hips and make me look huge) or slinky bodycon numbers (will be 3.5 months pregnant and want to feel comfortable eating a big meal and drinking!).

I’ll need a size 12 or medium, could get away with a 10 in a stretch fabric if stock is limited on something.

I was hoping to get something bargainous in the sale but nothing. Prepared to go up to £120 at this point now.

What about this - it’s actually dark blue/black stripes and has a nice V back. www.phase-eight.com/product/alani-pleated-sequin-dress-208257432.html#q=Sequin&is=false&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&pid=208257432&pos=46

Nothing is quite right, but thank you to absolutely everyone. @RicherThanYew- the chi chi London is the closest to what I want but boat/straight necks make my boobs look like an IKEA shelf.

@gothicsprout - you’d have thought this would be promising, it looks lovely online but I tried it on in a phase 8 outlet- unfortunately very frumpy looking on me due to lots of heavy fabric. It’s a great price and I would recommend to anyone who is 5 foot 7+ who needs a party dress.

I don’t want anything backless or too nightclubby. I’m in my mid twenties but want something that will be not super Instagram-glam for family parties.

I think I might need to choose a colour outside my palette to give me more options.

Thanks everyone so far for having a look- sorry I am being fussy.

Was really going to get something in the sales. I need a party dress as mine are all tatty or don’t fit properly but I can’t find anything right :(

@goose1964

The orange ASOS one would be perfect but very bad reviews for the price.

If they were 5* and people said it fit beautifully and appeared as photographed, I would go for it
